Inclusive research design to become an NIHR condition of funding - Webinar

The National institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) funds, enables and delivers world-leading health and social care research that improves people's health and wellbeing, and promotes economic growth. With a mission to improve the health and wealth of the nation through research, the NIHR will be changing to ensure that research inclusion is properly costed and executed.

From autumn 2024, applicants for all NIHR domestic programme awards will be required to demonstrate how inclusion is being built into the research lifecycle and costed for. This includes, but is not limited to, the research question and design, the participants recruited, the research methods, data collection, analysis and dissemination of findings.

NIHR infrastructure and global health awards will come on stream from 2025 onwards. It also paves the way for the new specific requirements we will be bringing in next year in relation to accounting for sex and gender into health and care research.

This one hour session will be jointly delivered by the NIHR Research Inclusion team and the NIHR Research Support Service (RSS). 

The session is aimed at researchers and research support staff and will include:

• an overview of the new conditions of funding for domestic programme awards
• practical and actionable advice on how to meet the requirements and meaningfully embed inclusion in all stages of the research lifecycle

This session is being run by the National institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) if you have any questions, please contact the event team.
